Abstract
Cienfuegosia sulphurea. a wild malvaceous plant, was found to be a host of the boll weevil (Anthonomus grandis). Other cotton insect pests reared from this plant were cotton square borer (Strymon melinus, and Noctuelia rufofascialis). The cotton leaf worm (Alabama argillacea) completed its development when larvae were placed on the plant.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
